John Albers, 38, of Columbia, Missouri, was shot and killed on January 13, 2019, after a morning argument in the Fairway Meadows area east of the city. Deputies responding shortly after 7 a.m. to the 200 block of Sarazen Drive found Albers with a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say the confrontation escalated when Garland B. Wisley Jr. refused repeated demands to hand over a handgun and then shot Albers in the head. Witnesses reported Wisley pointed the gun at several other people inside the residence before leaving on foot. Prosecutors filed charges against Wisley for second-degree murder and armed criminal action and a warrant was issued while deputies searched for him; he was also wanted on a separate failure-to-appear warrant tied to drug possession and trespassing matters.

The search continued for months, with authorities later reporting his arrest outside the state. If anyone knew John Albers, his movements that morning, or saw activity around Sarazen Drive on January 13, 2019, please share what was seen with investigators.
